Buckhorn, who will reach the halfway point of his four-year term on Monday, says he intends to run for re-election. During the mayoral campaign in 2010 and 2011, he made 34 campaign promises now being tracked by the Buck-O-Meter. So far, he has kept 17 of them. On another eight, he has taken steps — often quite substantial, but usually different from his original promise — that amount to a compromise. He has broken three, has four still in the works and is stalled on two.
